2009 Darioush Signature Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
|
|
Inspired by the power and grace exhibited in the great wines of Bordeaux, Darioush’s cooler-climate vineyards of southern Napa Valleyproduce wines with extraordinary depth, character and poise. The 2009 Signature Cabernet Sauvignon is influenced by higher portions of Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon from our Sage Vineyard atop Mt. Veeder.

The saturated flavors and textural quality of the 2009 vintage are a direct result of an idyllic, moderate growing season, enabling Darioush’s ‘signature’ combination of finesse and concentration. Vivid flavors of licorice, black cherry and mocha are wrapped in a sleek, savory package of sage and French lavender. Succulent, fully-developed tannins support a long finish with a lifted, fruit quality we can only describe as energetic and age-worthy.
